lag: "I had a pretty powerhouse college season last year"

This guy just can't help himself.

In what bizarro world is losing as much as he did considered a "powerhouse season"??!!

He spent almost the entire season in the red and by year's end he was deep in the hole as usual. 

Here's a warning for new members who don't know him yet:

lag, summer, last year: "I can't wait for the NFL to start. I've had five straight winning seasons here!"

lag, week one of the NFL: "I'm ready to go. I've had eight straight winning seasons here!"

That's the problem with being a pathological liar - your new lies trip over your old lies because you don't remember what you said.

And this week, when the NFL starts, he'll pretend he had a winning season last year, and hope nobody's remember how much he lost. 

And he did lose. Big 

He got caught shaving multiple losses off his record five times in the first 5 weeks of the season. He knew people were calling him out for it but he kept trying anyway. Because he just can't help himself.

Even the worst of sports bettors eventually gets lucky and wins a few games, and that's what happened to him last year, but by the end of the season he was where he is every year, every sport - losing. And lying about it. 

He finished the regular season in the red and then got wiped out in the playoffs. He lost EVERY bet he posted in the wild card round, then did what he always does - disappeared for the rest of the playoffs and the super bowl, hoping people would forget.

But no one has to take my word for it, it's all here in the archives.

But watch him this week - he'll claim it was another winning NFL season. 

The purpose of this forum is to share info to help bettors win. When you have a poster who consistently cheats on his record he deserves to be called out on it, so other posters are aware of it in case they're thinking of tailing him based on his fake record.

And nobody, NOBODY, in this or any forum cheats more than this guy.

As one of the regulars posted a few weeks ago, "There's a lot of guys who cheat on their records, but there's something wrong with this guy, constantly whining for attention and complaining he's not getting enough views. He's the most insecure poster I've ever seen."

Correct. 

Imagine how empty someone's life must be, how void of achievement and friends it must be, that year after year they lie and cheat to try and con total strangers on the internet into worshiping them.

Here's all anyone needs to know about him, copied and pasted from his own post:

Post #23, by LAGameofInches: "I am so humble to all who tail me."

Post #24, also by LaGameofInches: "I hate to sound like a beggar but I've been on a torrid run tailing you, do you have anything you like today?"

Post #25, by Hannibal: "I guess he forgot to sign into his second or third nickname to comment in his own thread. But according to him the other posters here are the clowns."

Post #26, by YardMatt: "LOL! Are you tooting your own horn and asking yourself for your plays, or asking one of your other ghosts?"

Only a mentally unstable person posts under multiple aliases to make himself look good. And only a losing sports bettor has to cheat on his record.

Caveat emptor.

Public Service Announcement 

It slithers back in hoping no one remembers who he is.

Don't be conned by this lifetime loser, documented year after year here at covers losing over 60% of his bets.

It'salladream:

"BIGGEST PLAY! Rutgers first half +1/2 - MEGAPLAY!! Can't lose! I KNOW!!!"

Score: Wisc 43-34

Loser after loser after loser:

"Cal Santa Barbara FH -1! I already won this game before it even started!"

"ALL MY RETIREMENT IS ON THIS GAME! If I lose I won't be coming back!"

Score: Cal San Diego 42-33

Fortunately, most posters are on to him and the various aliases he posts under with his fake bets and fake dollar amounts.

hadenfizzle/it'salladream:

"If this first quarter don't win I will give the first 4 people who reply $1,000.00!!!

Straight Stake $8,500.00

@T-Rex77, @none775, @SPark1, @nikon - You all will receive $1,000.00 I'm serious. Ok entry is closed."

And when the pick lost (of course) the attention-starved, click-baiting chode ran away and hid for 6 months, hoping the forum would forget.

He's not a bettor, he doesn't bet real money. He comes to amuse himself at the expense of posters who are new or naive.

And when  posters who foolishly tailed and lost their money call BS on him for his "Guarantees" and "Bet the House!" nonsense, he replies with smiley faces. He thinks it's funny when posters lose money tailing him.

THAT'S why he posts, that's what he really is - just another lifeless troll, desperate for attention.

They're not real handicappers, they just play one on the internet. 

I see the two losers had a little lover's tiff in the MLB forum.

It was inevitable really, that the mutual ass kissing in each other's posts would eventually degrade into a quarrel, two insecure egos competing for attention of forum members. 

They're two peas in a pod. Every season, every sport it's the same pattern: 

1 - They post picks. The picks lose. No record. 

2 - They get Lucky and win A few Games, as even the worst Bettors (a Category these two definitely qualify for) eventually do. And suddenly a record appears, a winning record that doesn't include all the previous losers. 

3 - The natural order of things is restored as they go back to their losing ways. This is when their only talent does appear - they're magicians - they make their record magically disappear!

4 - Forum members ask what happened to the record. It's a rhetorical question, posted just to goof on the frauds. Posters here know what happened to it - the same thing that happens to it every season. 

5 - The two losers make excuses why they're too busy to update their record, but promise to do so soon.

6 - The picks keep losing, the record stays invisible.

7 - Posters point out their duplicity and dishonesty. 

8 - The two losers launch personal attacks on people who dare to point out their BS.

9 - The forum members fire back.

10 - The losers whine to the moderators that they're being unfairly personally attacked. (Normal people see the hypocrisy of this but they don't, because along with having no integrity, dignity, and pride they are also totally lacking in self-awareness.)

11 - Next comes where they show how low they can go, what poor excuses for human beings they are. To deflect from the mockery and derision they're receiving (from the very same people they're desperately trying to con into respecting and admiring them) they sink to the lowest of depths possible - they morph into drama queens. They post supposed personal tragedies into a forum intended for sports betting. Every year it's the same revolving door of deflections: "I'm having surgery tomorrow", "my girlfriend was in a car accident", "my dad's in the hospital", "My Dog Has Long Covid!"

They know the forum is full of guys with good hearts, who will reply with messages of sympathy and condolences, which fulfills the losers sole purpose of being here - not to help sports bettors as they claim, but for attention. 

Insufferable twat waffles, the both of them.

And how bad is Chicago???

23 points in Q1, 19 in the entire second half, and I got stuck with a push on the total. Looks like they're just going to mail it in for the rest of the season.

I saw Cardoso take a shot from right under the basket, miss, got her own rebound, put it back up, and... air ball. From right under the rim. Pitiful. 

GS looking strong down the stretch though, a fun team to watch too. 

I got nothing for today (and what's up with only one game on the card on a Saturday???) but I'd like to put something on it for a little rooting action while I'm watching. I'll drop by later to see if you see any edges/angles or have any thoughts on the game.

Good luck if you're on it.

In the top 10 for greatest intro/opening bars of all time.

The guitar, snare, kick and hi-hat absolutely kick ass.

"All right, all right, all right, all right."

"I don’t mind. I like hearing 2 sides of the story."

That's what I thought but I figured I would ask first (like I said, some betters are superstitious, myself included. But I always want to see the chess board from all angles and know all stats before I make a bet.)

Here's what I left out yesterday.

Minnesota has not been a Dog this season, until last night. But last year (same coach, same style of play, same basic team makeup) they were 'Dogs 13 times.

And they won nine of those games . . . SU.

And they were 10-3 ATS.

Collier's likely to be out for another 2 weeks. Obviously the Lynx won't be Dogs in their next game (Washington) but I think four of their next six are on the road including two at NY, might be catching 1-2 pts there based on how the books valued Collier being out last night (+2) as opposed to Minnesota's previous game at Phoenix where they were -3'.

Anyway, just stuff to think about when 'capping their next few games.

Good luck tonight.

Mr. F,

I had some stats last night on Minnesota but didn't post them because you picked the other side - I don't want anyone to think I'm questioning or jinxing their pick.

On the other hand, maybe you would have wanted to see them. Not that it would make you change, increase, or decrease your bet but just so that you have a full picture with some stats maybe you didn't see, and might be useful for the next game. 

Gamblers tend to be a suspicious lot, so I sometimes don't know whether to post or not. Doesn't matter because I rarely post as I don't see a lot of value and constructive talk being shared, as opposed to ego boosting and "Hey look at me!" stuff.

But I do check out your posts if I'm around, and try to contribute if I have something that I think contributors here might be interested in. So I'll ask you - if someone posts info on the other side of your pick would you feel jinxed or do you want all information?

"without knowing how bad they could be with out the best player in the W."

I have this as their fourth game without Phee this season. A 74-71 Rd win at Phoenix on 5/30, an 82-66 Hm win vs LA on 6/21, and a 64-68 Rd loss at Washington on 6/24. Just more stuff to think about for anyone still looking at the game and undecided.

The Lynx haven't lost two in a row all season so if they do lose tonight it makes Friday night's game interesting against a suddenly Sykes-less Mystics.

To add to the stats you're considering for the New York game, the Liberty are Double Digit Favs.

I have these at 28-28-1 all games, 10-12 ATS Rd teams. No real variance/edge to exploit there. 

For totals I have 28-29 all games, no edge there either. But broken down into Hm/Rd, the Over is 15-20 when it's a Double Digit Hm Fav (a profitable Fade at 57%) and 13-9 when it's a Double Digit Rd Fav, a nice edge at 59%.)

I haven't pulled the trigger on a side or total in this one yet, not sure if I will, but good luck on your plays today.

I bought Min today. Gonna need them to win by close to double digits to cover the number, but I have them at 10-5 ATS when laying 8 or more at Hm.

Hoping for a little extra effort/incentive from the Lynx tonight, a combination of being a little pissed off after losing to Atlanta at home in their last game, with a pinch of revenge mixed in for last year's championship series.

Were you watching Atlanta live last night? I caught it, was wondering, "What the hell was that that just crossed my screen??!!"

Best part was when the cameraman zoomed in on it not knowing what it was, then quickly turned the camera away while the announcer said, "Oh my, that's inappropriate!"

You'll never see that in an NBA game.

Just to add to the discussion, I have LV at 0-1 ATS as Double Digit Rd Dogs and Min at 7-3 ATS as DD Hm Favs (8-3 depending on if you got -9' or -10 vs GS on July 5.)

 Overall, Double Digit Hm Favs are 17-15-1 ATS and 13-20 Ov/Un.

You're welcome. Hope you find them helpful.

'Capping is like a chess board, it's good to look at it from every angle, so I thought someone might want to know some more stats to factor in.

Tonight's game will add a little more to my thoughts for tomorrow's Ace's game because Atlanta's in the same spot as Vegas will be in tomorrow night, B2B with both games on the Rd. I gave the overall numbers above, here's some stats on when the second game is a Rd game.

Team playing in game 2 of B2B on the Rd:

ATS 5-1, Ov 5-1

(If anyone wants to double check my math - when you do a lot of number crunching it's easy to make a mistake, it's always good to have backup - here are the qualifying games on my database: New York on 5/30, Phoenix on 6/19, Chicago on 6/22, Indiana on 6/27, Indiana on 7/16, and Minnesota on 7/10.)

NY on 5/30 is the only one that stayed Under the total and Indiana on 7/16 is the only spot that lost ATS.

Side note - the one that lost ATS was Indiana without Clark. More to the point it was their first game after Clark went on the injured list again. She's been injured three times this season, and the Fever lost all three of the following games - so much for the "Next Man Up" theory that says bet ON a team after they lose their star player. Ind is 0-3 in that spot, worth noting for their first game without her after her next injury.

I took A. Gray Ov 16' pts, -117 tonight. I think the books shaved a point offer season average because she played last night. But last time she was in a game 2 of B2B's she played 33 minutes so I'm not worried about her getting any bench rest tonight after playing last night. And she scored 18 in that one, her season average.

Good luck on whatever you go with tonight, and tomorrow.

Correction/addition. Above numbers were missing one game from my chart, Min on 7/10. They won ATS and the game went Over.

Correct record on teams in game 2 of B2B is:

9-3 ATS, 7-5 on the Over.

And, just a heads up . . Atlanta played last night, playing tonight at Phoenix. (They were in this B2B spot once this season, they played at home two nights in a row, game on 5/25, they won ATS and the game went Under.

"Can LV win 4 games in a row?"

We'll know after tomorrow night. If they do (or don't) here's some thoughts/stats for anyone who will be looking at the Aces on Friday. 

They'll be playing in game 2 of B2B's (back to back nights.) These were profitable on the Over last year at 17-6. But, as in all things in sports betting, trends eventually level out. This season the over is just 6-5.

But . . .

Their ATS record is 8-3.

Vegas is in the Rd/Rd subcategory (Hm/Hm, Hm/Rd, Rd/Hm, Rd/Rd.) There are two spots this season when both games were played on the road. ATS record is 1-1, both games went Over.

Those are league-based stats, covering all teams. I checked my charts to see if there is any team specific stats to factor in. This will be the second time Vegas has played B2B. The first was on 6/26, Hm/Hm, they won SU, lost ATS, and the game went over (by 14 points.)

Just a couple angles to look at for anyone 'capping Fridays games.

Another losing day. Gee, who would've have seen that one coming (well, everyone who's been here long enough to know him.)

The question of record keeping and prices are worthless with this guy anyway. Nobody, NOBODY, on this or ANY other forum, has been called out for cheating more times, by more different posters. Last season in the NFL he got caught shaving multiple losses off his record in five of the first five weeks. Same thing every year, every sport.

Last December he posted, "I lost yesterday's pick but it's no big deal for a guy like me because I have a winning record in every sport!"  And then his real records were posted and it showed that he was losing money in EVERY sport. But no one has to take my word for it, it's all here in the archives.

Money lines are irrelevant too. He used Germany -200 in a soccer bet and said he'd count it as two losses on his record if it didn't win, but when he lost he didn't even count it as one.

When he's not cheating on his record he's whining that he doesn't get enough views. And when he's not chastising posters here for failing to worship him properly he's seeking attention in his favorite way, posting stuff that has nothing to do with sports betting: 

"My gf was in a car accident this week!"

"My dad's in the hospital!"

"Some guy almost hit me on the highway today!"

"I'm recovering from surgery" (you won't find a single year here where he hasn't used this one, just to get sympathy replies.)

"MY DOG HAS LONG COVID!!!"

(Okay I made that last one up just to goof on him, but the rest is true.)

The internet's full of guys that cheat on their record, but as many here have pointed out many times over the years there's something wrong with this guy. All you need to know about him is this - he got caught using aliases to kiss his own ass, and despite the proof other posters provided - pasted from his own posts! - he denied it. He even tried to blame it on covers and the mods here, saying they let him get hacked.

And a handicapper who is truly winning doesn't have to cheat on his record. And NOBODY cheats more than this guy.

Caveat emptor

Correction, the game when Reese missed the layups wasn't last night, it was the night before against Minnesota. Also, saw a play with the clock about to run out, she gets the inbounds pass in a clear catch-and-shoot situation and... she dribbles the ball, no shot taken for the Sky. 

Today I watched her smack a clipboard out of a coach's hand. Totally classless and of course the league will likely let her get away with it.

I bet it's sometimes when I have a situational play with a decent W percentage (I shared some stats in a recent thread here, a day or two ago.) I don't get pissed though, like when I have a bet on the NBA and they do something stupid, because I don't expect professionalism from the WNBA.

Lip,

Yeah, the officiating is terrible, on the level of local little league teams. And the broadcasters are even worse. That said, I still prefer watching/betting on the WNBA than the NBA.

Straight Kash, 

TEN missed layups in the game I watched last night, including three by the overrated Cry-Baby brat angel reese. You know where they call them lay ups? Because they're supposed to be easy!. And don't forget all the shot clock turnovers. It's almost as if they don't even know that rule exists.

Jes, 

I had the game on in the background yesterday, only half paying attention. Heard a man's voice, I thought they were interviewing an NBA star who was in the audience. Looked up at the TV and . . .

It was Griner.

I did a double take, thought my eyes and ears were deceiving me.  I never heard her speak before but now that I have, along with all the other signs, I believe that, as Austin Powers would say . . .

A couple stats for future use if these kind of things interest you, or anyone else 'capping the WNBA.

In their next game, the winner of the CC Cup game is 2-2 ATS;  Overs are 2-2 in those games. 

In their next game, the loser of the CC Cup game is 2-1-1; Overs are 1-3 in those games.

After the Indiana win the Fav is now 0-5 in CC Cup games (I'm pretty sure that's accurate, I have to double check my database); the Over is 2-3.

I expect Minnesota's pretty pissed not just at losing the game but for losing the MONEY. And for getting beaten so thoroughly (A seven point second quarter, really? And an eight minute, 13 seconds gap without scoring, EIGHT minutes in a 10-point quarter??!!)

Puts the Mystics in what looks like a bad spot today as the Lynx will be looking to take it out on somebody but . . .

Double Digit Favs at Hm are 7-15 ATS this season. And for bettors who like to play totals, DD Hm Favs are 7-15 on Overs.

Minnesota and New York are both laying > 10 at Hm tonight.

Phx is a Double Digit Rd Fav. These teams are 4-8 ATS and 8-4 to the Over.

Just some stats if you're into this kind of stuff.

Game 6

Nesmith Ov 11' pts, -126

Agree again, on the Mystics.

I used them on the Under too, article with the stats the play is based on just posted in the promo forum. Excerpt:

"Guess which team had the lowest PPG (in the preseason) on offense?

Yup, the Mystics.

Washington averaged 72 PPG, which was 11.6 points beneath the league average of 83.6.

And in just two games, they had 38 turnovers.

That’s an average of almost five turnovers per quarter!"

You can't give it too much weight cuz it's just two preseason games but based on the fast pace style of play new head coach Johnson wants them to incorporate (taking their first shot within 8 seconds of getting possession) they're going to have a lot of missed shots and turnovers. 

"I got a better line than this but this is the current line."

Bravo.

I do the same all the time. 

Posting lines that most of the average sports bettors can't get is an exercise in vanity. And the norm in ForumLand. Your integrity is admirable.

Again, I wish you success this season.
